Key Findings & Highlights:
This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes ADP’s offerings and capabilities in Cloud HR Transformation Services.
ADP is primarily known for its payroll capability. It pays ~26m employees in the U.S. and ~41m employees globally and its origins are in delivering payroll services since its inception in 1949. However, to increase the strategic value of its products and services to clients, over the last five years, ADP made strategic investments in developing its HCM platforms and Cloud HR Transformation Services that support these platforms. It’s strategic products, RUN, Workforce Now and Vantage are all Cloud SaaS-based. ADP’s first RUN client was in 2007, Workforce Now was launched in 2009 and Vantage was launched in 2012. It has ~ 810k total ADP clients, of which ~ over 710k clients use ADP’s most modern suite of HCM delivered platforms. A small minority of its Vantage HCM clients purchase payroll standalone, on average new clients purchased 3+ modules. Additional HCM platforms have been developed to support different markets, including ADP Workforce Now and ADP Vantage HCM. More recently, in late 2019, ADP announced it would invest in a new Cloud HR platform, Next Gen HCM, which will be developed alongside its Next Gen Payroll and Next Gen Tax solutions. As well as developing its proprietary software, ADP has a strong history of acquisitions to support expanding its service capability and geographic footprint.
ADP's Cloud HR Transformation Services are offered to U.S. and Canadian organizations only where ADP proprietary software is selected. All of ADP's HR service offerings are based on cloud platforms.
